Chapter 38 Planning 19
After thinking for a long time, he finally drew the design draft of bf109.
Although the bf-1o9 has various flaws, what makes him excited is the extremely simple production process of the Bf-109.
Because of its simple structure and low cost, it is suitable for mass production. In the later stages of the war, in the face of almost all-coverage Allied bombing, when many weapons and equipment could not continue to be produced, the BF-1O9 fighter jet could continue to be produced. This It cannot but be said to be a miracle (it was used in Spain until the 1960s).
Until the end of the war, the total production of various models of Bf-109 was as high as more than 35,000 aircraft, while the total production of Fw190 was more than 20,000 aircraft.
Yannick couldn't help but worry that if all Fw190s were to be produced, the output might not even reach 40,000. In terms of quantity alone, it lags far behind others (Hurricane production is 14,583 aircraft, P51 Mustang production is 15,586 aircraft, P47 Thunderbolt production is 15,660 aircraft, Yak 9 production is more than 16,000 aircraft, Spitfire/Seafire production is 20,351 aircraft), and performance is also outstanding. If there is no generation difference, the result will be a dead end.
Moreover, the bf-1o9 is also a very advanced fighter in the early stage, and it is almost difficult to meet its opponents. It wasn't until Merlin launched a high-horsepower engine and upgraded the Spitfire that the BF-109 began to struggle a bit. Although it was outperformed in every performance, it could still beat the competition.
On the Eastern Front, thanks to the chaos of the Soviet army after the Great Purge, when the war began, the Soviet Union was equipped with a large number of La-3 and MiG-1 fighter jets. As a result, the Soviet Union was almost beaten to the point of annihilation by the German army. The Soviets' own aviation industry did not recover so quickly after the German attack. It was not until the middle of 1943, when the improved versions of the Yak-9 and La-5 came out, that the Soviet aviation could have the capital to compete with the BF-109. It was not until the La-7 fighter entered service in 1944 that the Soviet fighter's combat strength surpassed that of the German BF-109 fighter.
In other words, the BF-109 developed in advance by this time and space can be used for at least ten years. If the oil mark, engine, and supercharger are improved, it may be able to stay strong for a long time.
After talking about fighter jets, next we have to talk about attack aircraft. "The attack aircraft needs to carry out ground attacks with ferocious firepower, mainly attacking the opponent's tanks and various vehicles. Since it is a ground attack, it must face various ground air defense weapons. Therefore, this attack aircraft needs to be very good protection. It must be able to withstand at least 20mm anti-aircraft gunfire."
The most powerful combat weapon on land is the tank. Tanks are tracked armored combat vehicles with direct firepower, cross-country capabilities and armor protection. They are the only land weapons that are more important than wheeled armored vehicles. Since tanks are "famous" and "general" in land weapons, is there a fighter in the air force that can compete with tanks in terms of power?
Looking at it, the Soviet Union during World War II had such a fighter plane, which was specially designed to deal with tanks. This fighter plane was not only called a "flying tank" by the Soviet army, but was also called the "Black Reaper" by the German army. ".
This is the famous Soviet IL-2 attack aircraft during World War II.
On July 1, 1941, the IL-2 participated in the battle for the first time in the Belzina River and Bobruysk areas of Belarus, demonstrating its strong attack efficiency and invulnerability. Since then, the Il-2 has become the backbone of the Red Army's ground attack aircraft and played an extremely important role in the Great Patriotic War.
Unlike attack aircraft of the same era, the IL-2's armor also forms part of the aircraft's load-bearing structure, making the aircraft very strong without adding additional armor plates to increase the aircraft's weight too much. The aircraft's armor can withstand direct hits from small-caliber bullets, shell fragments, and shrapnel, and the pilot can calmly conduct multiple attacks on the target over the target area. When driven by a skilled pilot, the IL-2 can also engage in air combat with enemy fighter jets.
Seeing that Yannick did not have any speed requirements for this aircraft, and only required strong armor protection and a certain bomb load, everyone did not show any embarrassment and nodded in agreement.
"Everyone should know that when using existing technology to drop bombs horizontally, the bomb has an initial velocity in the horizontal direction when it falls. Affected by gravity and air resistance, the flight trajectory is uncertain and the accuracy is not high. Even if thousands of bombs are dropped at one go It will definitely hit the target. So I need a highly efficient bomber that can destroy the target with only one bomb.
In order to achieve this high-precision bombing capability, this aircraft needs to rush towards the target from the air at a nearly vertical angle, drop bombs at an altitude of 500 to 200 meters, and then pull up safely. It does not need to have a particularly good climb, but it must pay attention to its stability during dive. In addition, it needs to have enough bomb load. I hope it can carry one to two tons of bombs. "Everyone looked embarrassed when they heard the bomb load of one to two tons. Yannick added helplessly. "This bomb load is not a hard target, but it cannot be less than half a ton. This is the bottom line. "
As for the last one, there are many types of twin-engine bombers to choose from. There are many excellent models from Germany, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and even France and Italy. Yannick chose the DH98 Mosquito bomber from the British company De Havilland.
This bomber is known as one of the most successfully designed aircraft in World War II.
First of all, the "Mosquito" is an all-wooden aircraft; secondly, the "Mosquito" was the most versatile aircraft among the world's twin-engine military aircraft from 1939 to 1945. Only the German JU-88 can rival it. For the all-metal era, this kind of aircraft seemed outdated, but the "Mosquito" aircraft had surprising results in World War II: it dispatched nearly 40,000 sorties, dropped 100,000 bombs, and only 254 were shot down. The loss rate was 63%, less than 1/3 of other bombers.
The Mosquito can both explode and fight. The lightly armed Mosquito without bombs can fly faster than almost all fighter jets on both sides. Four 20mm cannons and four 7mm machine guns constitute powerful firepower. The wooden fuselage is also difficult to reflect radar. The wave put the German army in a dilemma that was difficult to detect, catch up with, and defeat. Later, the Mosquito was equipped with a radar and became a night fighter with excellent performance, making it even more invincible at night.
After finally assigning the design tasks, Yannickson breathed a sigh of relief and stopped Porsche when the meeting was over. "Dr. Ferdinand, please wait a moment."
"Your Highness Yannick, what are your orders?" Yannick is now his immediate boss. Because on the board of directors of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche advocated the development of small cars. Not only did it fail to get any support, it was also ostracized by people and had to withdraw from Daimler. Just when he was frustrated and helpless, His Highness actually sent someone to ask him to be the chief designer and technical consultant. This meant that his dream of a small car could finally be realized, something for which he was very grateful to Yannick.
"Dr. Ferdinand, I want you to design another tank of more than 150 tons." The super-heavy Maus tank in the original time and space was designed by Porsche as the chief designer. Unfortunately, during the final battle to defend Berlin, the Maus tank that was preparing to go to the battlefield broke down due to a malfunction and had to be blown up. However, it was not completely blown up because its skin was too thick. The remains were taken back by the Soviets for study and were later exhibited. Inside the Soviet museum.
hiss! Porsche suddenly took a breath of air and said in surprise. "You said 150 tons?!" His Highness just said that the 15-ton tank has no clue, but now comes the 150-ton tank? !
Yannick nodded firmly. "Yes, it is 150 tons. The thinnest part of the armor must be more than 50MM, and the thickest part must be more than 220MM. The main gun is a 128mm naval gun, and the secondary gun is 75mm. As for the power, you can use the Let’s try installing the electric transmission system. Anyway, the space of this tank is definitely large enough, so you don’t have to worry about heat dissipation.”
The German Tiger tanks of the original time and space were originally bid by Scheer and Porsche at the same time. The biggest innovation of Porsche's Tiger was the electric transmission system, which was a very advanced transmission system at the time. It is a pity that Dr. Porsche cannot solve the heat dissipation problem of this electric transmission system, causing the generator and electric motor to burn out easily. Naturally, he was rejected. The Maus tank is definitely a behemoth. Its weight is three times that of the Tiger tank, and the internal space is of course more abundant.
Seeing Dr. Porsche nodding thoughtfully, Yannick added. "But don't put all your energy on this tank. I'm just using this tank to deceive the enemy. I will only build a prototype at most." Looking around, the person who is most interested in this super tank should be He is the bearded man of the Soviet Union. I really hope he can order dozens or hundreds of them to be built in one go.
